For me, the title initially read as Google Now being open sourced, and I was eager to read about such a bold but strange move on Google's part. As soon as I started reading the article and realized it was about opening up the API, I lost all interest. I mean, I do get how good it is that they are opening up the API for third parties, but I was really hoping to read about Google turning around from their recent anti-open-source/anti-open-platform moves and back towards embracing open source again. Oh well.
